...And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead

. . . And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead formed in Austin, Texas in the mid-nineties. Fronted at times by Conrad Keely (vocals, guitar, drums, piano), and at other times Jason Reece (drums, vocals, guitar). The rest of the band has changed over the years, currently consisting of Kevin Allen (guitar, vocals), Danny Wood (bass, vocals) and the newest addition, Aaron Ford (drums).

The music is loud, aggressive, anthemic, artful, and melodic. Have a listen.

By the way, next time around I’m going to change things up a bit. I’m going to try to concentrate almost entirely on rarities. Which means, I may post by some better known bands, but it will be lesser known songs (b-sides, soundtrack cuts, live covers, etc) by them. The only other blog I’ve found that deals mostly in obscure stuff is Lost in the Eighties (which I highly recommend), but they limit their stuff to bands from the 80s, so I figure there’s room for a new guy on the blog block.
